Maroon 5 and Alicia Keys performed together at the 2013 Grammys, mashing up a performance of their songs 'Daylight' and 'Girl on Fire,' respectively. It didn't exactly feel like an "Oh yeah, that makes sense" partnership, but more like a way for the producers to pair up two acts, right next to one another, without having to swap out the stage or set up.

Before Alicia Keys even stepped out on stage, her persona was embodied in an anecdote told by 'Criminal Minds' star Shemar Moore. He first met her about 10 years ago and was trying to smooth talk the songstress, to which Keys replied, "I respect your flirt game, but my man situation is handled." Strong, sassy and classy!

Alicia Keys delivered a pretty epic show at the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards. Mrs. Swizz Beatz opened her showstopping performance with some heavily choreographed moves to her single 'New Day' before cooling down with, ironically, a hot track -- 'Girl on Fire.'

Alicia Keys is a proud mom to Egypt, her son with Swizz Beatz, and it shows in her new video for 'Girl On Fire.'

Alicia Keys and Beyonce have a lot more in common than just being R&B queens, they are proud mothers of their kids -- 2-year-old Egypt and 9-month-old Blue Ivy, respectively. The piano diva revealed to Capital FM that her and Bey often share baby stories together.

Alright so Alicia Keys took some time off to get married and have a baby, but thank goodness she's back! And she's giving us great music already. I don't care what I am doing, where I'm headed, when I hear an Alicia Keys song, I crank it up and sang. (no, I didn't misspell the word)
